I watched it too, I'm not saying it covers all of the context just that as a piece of political media it's very effective. The blood, the fist, and the flag in the background are the sort of thing you'd see in an arranged photo.

I can hate him and still recognize that.

Almost like an “arranged photo”, you don’t say? 😝

Yeah, I hate it, but sometimes the planets really do align and shit just happens. It doesn't have to be this grand conspiracy, there's photographers everywhere all the time, and sometimes they happen to catch a once in a generation picture. I can't blame the dude for keeping it, but I think I would've thought long and hard and deleted it. "Oops, sorry, guess I forgot to take the pictures when all the shit went down".
